Servings: 12 wraps
Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked chicken breasts shredded
- 1 bottle 12 oz hot sauce (Franks or Tabasco)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning Mix can use purchased Ranch mix
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 head iceberg lettuce or several Little Gem lettuce heads
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in the hot sauce, butter, 1 tablespoon of the Ranch seasoning mix and the yellow mustard. Stir well until the butter is melted, then set aside.
- While the hot sauce is warming, shred the cooked chicken breasts (you can boil, roast, slow cook or grill the chicken breasts) using two forks. You want approximately 4 cups of shredded chicken.
- Place the shredded chicken into a large mixing bowl. Once the butter has melted and the sauce slightly thickened, pour the hot sauce mixture over the shredded chicken.
- Using tongs, nicely coat all the chicken with the hot sauce mixture.
- Peel off layers of either the Iceburg lettuce or the Little Gem lettuce. Place some of the buffalo chicken into the lettuce. Top with some blue cheese crumbles and a little bit of sour cream.
- Enjoy and be ready to come back for seconds.
Notes
Couple of things to note for this recipe:
- I have not included the cooking time for the shredded chicken. Why? Every time I make this recipe for Keto Buffalo Chicken Wraps, I already have cooked chicken on hand, which I use. Or, I have a rotisserie chicken ready to be shredded (you can see my video on how to Shred a Rotisserie Chicken).
- I did not include the entire recipe for the Ranch Seasoning in the nutritional value for the recipe... only 1 tablespoon has been accounted for in the nutritional values. Any extra of the seasoning mix can be added to a little mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream to make a really nice Ranch Dressing.
